Mentor Program – MS in Business Analytics
The Business Analytics program applies a multipronged approach to help students benefit academically and professionally. The various streams are:
- Peer Mentoring: A senior student is assigned as a mentor for incoming students. This helps them get an informal perspective into student life, helping them with navigation around topics like curriculum, internships, student events, organizations, etc.
- Faculty Mentor: One of our full-time faculty is assigned to the student to gain mentoring around topics related to coursework, career, etc. Each faculty mentor brings years of experience to augment the school experience for our students.
- Alumni: Our alums are our strongest ambassadors. They are the ones who help students with an all-around perspective of their journey as a student and beyond. As practitioners, working for top firms in the industry, they also help students find future job opportunities in their organizations.
